Ask HN: What's Your Side Project?

It's really motivating to hear about what people are working on in the late hours at night or the wee hours of the morning.

So HN, what are you all working on outside of your day jobs?

Can you elaborate a bit more on this?

Sure. It's a courier company management tool that tracks delivery jobs, staff and clients.

We automate many repetitive tasks like order intake and have tools to surface delivery data for analysis like peak volume periods by day of the week or Geo.

The business of it has given me a venue to learn various web techs in a real production environment as well allowed me to be an active care giver to my kid and probably got me my job now considering I'm a highschool dropout.

For a while it was the Multics CPU emulator/simulator. After we got Multics to boot it was no fun anymore :-)

Getting multiple CPUs running has been quite an adventure.

Yup, sadly. I still like the idea of putting a ge635 in an FPGA. :-)

Sounds like a lot of cool learning was done though :)

Yes, much learning and loathing. The "Official" docs for the CPU were less than complete or even accurate.
